It's a simple matter of density. It's not about intellect or intellectual pursuit at large, rural people are plenty smart. It's that intellectual pursuits can be very niche, and you're more likely to find someone that shares that very specific intellectual pursuit the more people there are, in close proximity. If you're located somewhere rural, your closest neighbors maybe 30 mins away, and friends often further. That's a totally different experience compared to having your friends live in the same high rise or be your neighbor 3 mins away. Not saying that one is better than the other, but they're clearly different.

It's a dangerous fantasy to think that all societal problems are caused by uneven distribution of wealth and that they will be solved by redistribution. No, some people just aren't psychologically suited to the modern world, whether that involves delaying gratification or rejecting low effort, high dopamine stimulation. The structure involved in necessary work and the social structures that lead people down productive paths are one way we collectively cope with the incongruence between our society and our psychology. Take away these structures and the results have the potential to be massively destabilizing.
There is zero evidence in the article to support the claim of AI artist. It’s far far more likely the “AI Artists” are actually Spotify funded ghost artists. The best evidence for “AI artist” is just as supportive of “Spotify ghost artists” as it is AI.
I understand what you’re saying, but minutes, hours, days and weeks are fixed time periods that can be reduced to a number of seconds. Months and years are not which is why I did not include those in my earlier post.

Calculating the calendar date for an event that’s 365 days in the future needs to consider whether leap-time corrections need to be made during the period. We do that already for days with our standard calendar.

Edited.
I'm surprised by how big this news story has been the past week or so, because I thought we all knew about Spotify's fake music already. I remember reading about this program at least 6 years ago.

I haven't used Spotify since.

Then perhaps you should strive to explore outside of the realm of benchmarks. I've been lucky in that I've seen legitimate value-adding uses in my workplace that simply were not possible pre-2022.

I remember one of Asimov's stories involved a human defeating the Laws of Robotics by distributing work among multiple robots with imperfect information. I wonder if something analogous doesn't happen with software engineers nowadays.

When it comes to something like a "remote kill switch" for software, it's hard to imagine any alternate beneficial use. But generally I assign the blame to the users of software who put it to a malicious use, not to authors.

Sounds like you’ve got people moving backwards and forwards frequently between the U.S. and Canada. Both countries are going to want to track those boarder crossings, doing it in an app just makes it easier for everyone.

Don’t really see what a bunch of people wondering around parks all located in the same country has to do with boaters moving between a smorgasbord of islands belonging to two different countries, and thus randomly crossing the boarder back and forth multiple times in a single trip.

It’s not perfect but current SuperMemo is more flexible than default Anki. It feels less punishing, you do not have to tweak it, and you can prioritize what you think is more important to learn (but I don’t use this function).

Still the basic idea is you should show up regularly, but sometimes I had to skip a couple of days and could get back on track by just doing my average number of repetitions plus 20% or something of the like for a while.

A big problem in general comes from the fact that an SRS is a big investment of time and people will get extremely defensive to “protect their investment”. It’s very difficult to get fair comparisons and good recommendations, I almost never got to try SuperMemo because I was just reading comments of defensive Anki users.

Graphene completely removes Google services in the default install. There is an option to install a sandboxed version of the Google play store, with enhanced privacy and security, but you don't need to install this or any other Google services if you don't want to, and I have opted to keep my Graphene installation Google-free.

There is a disagreement between the Graphene and CalyxOS community about which is more secure/private: Graphene's sandboxed Google play store, or CalyxOS's MicroG. I've read posts advocating for both sides, but I don't have the expertise to have an opinion, and I decided that I don't want either software on my phone, since I don't want to run google code or play store apps.

Although I'm not expert enough to validate the following claims, here's what I've read.

Graphene people claim that MicroG needs elevated privileges to run, privileges that Graphene doesn't grant to any app. MicroG also loads and runs Google code (in a context where that Google code would presumably have access to those elevated privileges). Graphene's version of the play store emulates some APIs without using Google code (for privacy), and sandboxes the Google code that it does run, running it with reduced privileges. This is a security first posture, keeping in mind that if you don't have security then you can lose privacy via exploits of your security holes.

CalyxOS's MicroG emulates a larger fraction of the google play APIs, making it less reliant on google code to operate, and this is the source of the claim that MicroG offers more privacy.

Most people do not buy from specific sources of production. They buy “from the grid”, the constituents of which are a dynamic mix of production sources (solar, wind, hydro, nuclear and fossile where I live).

Wind is strong at night when solar produces nothing. Same in the winter months.

As I said: if the power consumer is grid connected, this does not matter. Example: I have power in the socket even at night time :)

As long as you have uninterrupted power (i.e. as long as connected to the grid), the important metric is mean cost of energy, not capacity factor of the production plant.

For a nuclear sub or a space ship, which is not grid connected, capacity factor is very important. But data centers are usually grid connected.

> when data enters need power all day every day nuclear is the only solution

Do you think data centers running at night are running exclusively on nuclear-generated power :)?

We already have lots of data centers that need power all day every day. Most are just grid connected. It works.

Yeah totally... we want the government to be at the ready with some answer for literally any event that confuses any moron with a Twitter account lest it blow up into many morons with Twitter accounts getting confused.

The government doesn't know, it has no real responsibility or right to know, and it says it doesn't know. People extrapolating that into ridiculous theories cannot really be pinned on the government.

Next up: "I saw a shadow in the woods near my house and the government said they have no clue what it is!!!!"

It depends on how you lived in the city and how much video calling you do outside of work. If you're an hour away, it doesn't make sense to meet a friend in the city for coffee for 30 minutes and then drive home, but if that's not how you interacted with people in the city, then living in the suburbs or rural areas isn't going to change how you interact with them.

It's such a sad realization when you notice that most of the cost decreases for common products have happened through plasticizing everything.

It's basically impossible to find cheap natural products for cleaning consumables, for example, and it's really hard to find trustworthy global brands.

Plastic is entering absolutely every aspect of our lives and I really fear it's a "lead in gasoline" and "asbestos" moment for our generation :-( and it's going to be much harder to undo that either of those.

Jupyter is completely different from Wolfram software. It's just an interface to edit and run code (Julia, Python and R) and write/render text or images commenting the code. Which isn't to say that Jupyter isn't a great thing but I don't see how a Chatbot would produce better answers by having access to it in addition to "just Python".

Meanwhile, Wolfram software has built-in methods to solve a lot of different math problems for which in Python you would either need large (and sometimes quirky) libraries, if those libraries even exist.
It's become quite normal in malicious organizations of all types, such as most large businesses and governments.
Furthermore, why aren't efforts being made to fix those problems to make mass migration from more countries viable?

> You need cutoff date and some kind of public trail log to prevent backdating new certificates.

You might be able to do it without a public log by using an RFC 3161 (TSP) secure timestamp facility like the unfortunately named https://www.freetsa.org/. Basically, we want to trust identity attestations ("I am Bill Clinton and this is my face") made by a compromised CA between the time the CA certificate was created and an estimate (hopefully a conservative one) of the date of compromise. We want to distrust any certificates signed outside this time range.

This way, in the event of a CA compromise, we don't have to revoke everyone's certificate after a CA compromise.

I think we can implement this security model by having the CA ask the TSP server to countersign each certificate that the CA issues. The TSP would sign a hash of the whole CSR, including both identity ("I am Bill Clinton") and biometric (bill-clinton.jpg) information. Anyone can use the TSP's attestation to provide that the TSP server witnessed this combination of inputs at a specific time.

Sure, if you've compromised the CA, you can issue a certificate saying "I am Bill Clinton", but to do so, you need to either use a genuine, up-to-date TSP attestation, giving away the game, or you need to use an old TSP attestation, forcing you to use exactly the original inputs to the TSP. Using the exact inputs wouldn't help you: you want to issue a certificate saying "I am Bill Clinton" with attacker.jpg as the face, not bill-clinton.jpg. The latter won't help you do anything: you don't look like Bill Clinton and you don't have his private key.

An attacker would have to compromise both the CA and the TSP server to pull off a passport forgery. And you can make this process even harder by requiring multiple independent TSP servers to countersign certificates.
I go back and forth on this. I still keep in touch with a bunch of high school and college friends. For better or worse those guys know "the real me" and the history and relationships are impossible to replace. They all still live close together but I live far away - I only see them once or twice a year, if that (less right now because we're all in the "very young kids" stage). I miss them.

On the other hand, when I spend more than a few days straight with them, I realize that despite how deep our history goes, we've all changed. We don't share as many of the same hobbies/interests. My wife doesn't share a strong connection with them in the same way I do and doesn't have anything at all in common with their wives. I get it. Moving closer to them for the sake of my relationships would be a huge sacrifice for her.

What's to be done?

I‘d reserve the word „colony“ for its original meaning.

Which per Wikipedia is simply:

A colony is a territory subject to a form of foreign rule.

And which was a perfectly reasonable description of the situation in all the peripheral republics, as well as many constituent parts of the RSFSR itself.

The fact that it might have also provided subsidies to some of the republics at various times (when not withholding food and/or engaging in massive, violent repressive actions against them) is entirely irrelevant to this definition. Recall that the Western colonial powers always bragged about all the infrastructure they built in their colonies, and South Africa always tried to point out the subsidies it provided its Bantustans, etc.

Having lived in both rural and urban settings, I'm not sure the isolation you describe would be as correlated as you think. People in rural areas still hang out with one another (and even... alot) and people in cities still isolate themselves.

To follow that line further, I'd argue that the fact that rural living gives you less choice in company increases the degree to which you invest in the relationships that happen to be around. Consequently, rural living can create a greater sense of intimacy and companionship than the bustle of a city where there's always a new face around the corner (if you get bored of the old faces).

I don’t think suburbs are the cause of isolation. I’m on the tail end of a trip to Argentina and I can tell you that in general, people in the suburbs here are out and about, chatting with the neighbors, and getting together with family/friends in their backyards all the time.
My take on all of this stuff: 20 years ago, you were young. That's all there is to it. There is no alternative today, not for you at least, because you are no longer young. Whatever the corresponding phenomenon might actually be, it will make you angry, or disgusted, or repelled, or you will reject the theory that it is even in any way equivalent - or some combination of. Anyway, my advice would be to move on, definitely. Whatever it was, it happened, and you were young, and you were there. Time for somebody else to have their turn.
